Joint sittings of the two Houses of the Indian Parliament are convened to consider and pass bills on which the two Houses disagree. When a bill is passed by one House of Parliament but is rejected or amended by the other House, a deadlock is created. In order to resolve this deadlock, the President of India may call for a joint sitting of both Houses.

During a joint sitting, Members of Parliament from both Houses convene together to discuss and deliberate on the bill. The bill is then put to vote, and if it is supported by a majority of the members present and voting, it is considered to be passed. It is important to note that the joint sitting is presided over by the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, the lower House of Parliament.

It is worth mentioning that joint sittings are relatively rare, and are only called in situations where the two Houses are unable to reach a consensus on a particular bill. The purpose of a joint sitting is to ensure that the will of the majority prevails in the legislative process.
